Mit schwarzen Segeln segelt mein Schiff
wohl über das wilde Meer;
du weißt, wie sehr ich traurig bin,
und kränkst mich doch so sehr.
Dein Herz ist treulos wie der Wind
und flattert hin und her;
mit schwarzen Segeln segelt mein Schiff
wohl über das wilde Meer.
Composition:
Set to music by Robert Franz (1815 - 1892), "Mit schwarzen Segeln", op. 18 no. 6, published 1853 [ voice and piano ], Leipzig, Whistling

Amb veles negres navega el meu vaixell
damunt el mar tempestuós;
tu saps com estic de trist
i tanmateix em fereixes durament.
El teu cor és voluble com el vent
i voleia d’ací cap allà;
amb veles negres navega el meu vaixell
damunt el mar tempestuós.
